2025 Inauguration

Before I began, let me be clear. This is not a political post.

     I watched the 2025 Inauguration today. As a lady, I have gotten used to and enjoy wearing pants, but I was enlightened to see women today in dresses and/or jackets and skirts although there were a lot in pant suits. Somehow, with age and weight gain I prefer pants with long tops over dresses; however, I do prefer to see women in dresses, especially for Sunday and special occasions.  

     With that being said, my new First Lady, Melania Trump, rates a ten on a scale of 1-10. How she made the day in those spike heels, I will never be able to explain. I have been known to wear a dress with flats or even a back-up pair of tennis shoes. Therefore, as I watched Melania take all those stairs during the day, she gets my highest accolades. My feet ached for her.

     I also loved Melania’s hat. The only disappointment is that it hid her beautiful eyes as she smiled. Her smile lights up her whole face and I wanted to see her eyes! However, that hat added to her classy look. I just wish I could wear one as well as she does. 

     Not only that, but in the way of “classy” (style and poise) I rate the first ladies of my day as follows:  

1. Melania Trump

2. Jackie Kennedy 

3. Laura Bush

     My readers are welcome to disagree, but I still love you all. 

 

     All this being said, I am looking, talking, and rating from the external image not from the internal heart, because I have never met these great ladies. 

     Whereas I see the external, God sees the internal which is how I need to see people. Clothes and jewelry do not count. What really counts is the heart. That is where the beauty is truly found.
